The Fairfield is closing - for good, it seems.

Sarah got an email from the Fairfield and asked me to post it for everyone's edification:

----------------

Dear Guest:

Our records indicate that we are presently holding a reservation for
you at the Atlanta, Georgia Midtown Fairfield Inn Suites. Effective

Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to welcoming you

I'm glad I'm at the Granada...

I'm glad I'm at the Residence Inn...

 

[SensoryCD]

Likewise with the Hampton here.

 

[MetalRose]

Damn, I wonder where all the hairstylists will go...

-Metal

 

[Daybreaker]

Um... What about the bands that were booked there?

Yet another PPVI brush fire for Glenn to put out. At this rate, he will be able write an entire novel on just PPVI.

If you booked a room, they have to find an appropriate hotel at the same cost you were quoted. Thus, they are taking care of re-booking my bands elsewhere. The bands are just going to be spread out a bit more this year.

Considering all the other stuff I have to deal with and be prepared for, this is just a minor problem.

Wow, that blows since it is a nice hotel.

Maybe the hotel will be taken over by another chain? I mean, it seems silly to have something like that sit vacant. Maybe the Fairfield didn't find it cost effective, but it could be a little gold mine for even a small mom & pop operation.

Changing reservations for Amorphis/IE and the pre-party now...

The hotel was sold to a college and will be converted into dorm rooms asap.

They were afraid of our afterparties.

*evilgrin*

 

[MetalRose]

Damn, no wonder tution is so freaking high! I bet it was a pretty penny to get that hotel.

Interesting turn of events...and such a shame...a little bit of the PPUSA legacy dies with it...

Rock on!

 

[DarkOne]

Huh. That's going to make getting a room that much harder next year. Seems really odd to me the way it happened, and how soon. That must have been a heck of a deal that the college made.

if they are going to rebook you at a Mariott it sounds like everybody will end up at the Residence Inn. It's a pretty nice hotel. I've stayed there the past 2 years.
